Magic Melter Elevator Pitch

The Magic Melter, patent pending, was designed as a compact survival tool that melts snow into drinking water in the case of an emergency. It is a reusable double walled cup with a heating element wound helically in the sealed chamber between the two cup walls. This life saving device is human powered, and uses a hand-crank generator for power. The turning of the hand crank gets the consumer moving as it melts snow into drinking water, keeping the user warmer. This not only prevents dehydration, but also hypothermia, which can result from eating the snow directly. By powering the device manually, a car does not need to be running, eliminating the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Our device could be used not only for emergencies, but also for individuals interested in sports where one might be exposed to blizzards or situations of extreme cold. While the Magic Melter can melt snow, it can also keep other beverages warm, and can therefore be used in a more everyday setting.
